after recently recieving my first olive i have decided it needs an "antonio" chop
i have put an airlayer on as i dont have access to olives up here and would like a couple in my collection and the part i have put the layer on will make a nice tree if it takes, this wont affect the overall design of the tree though, i am putting it here as i would like some thoughts on where to go, i have a couple of ideas but want more just to see what you guys can come up with so here it is which i think is the optimum veiwing angle.
and a couple of virts, one single trunk option and one twin trunk option, right now i am leaning to the twin trunk
in my virt the pads look quite heavy, which i dont mind but am thinking if i can go somewhere like leigh is going on his little olive that he done a demo on i would be happy to, his idea is to have a full canopy using very tight foliage pads, that would look wicked defoliated
so hit me with it people. hack the photo up and show me your ideas
cheers!

edit- i forgot to add i intend on carving some nice feature into the tuber at the base of the tree. one way or the other, if it suits and needs it
edit 2- i forgot to add this olive was kindly sent up via chris, and is a yamdori that he dug up and got to this stage before i received it
cheers chris
